Aneet Padda, India's Youngest Franchise Lead, Juggles Stardom and Studies

In a remarkable feat, Aneet Padda, the rising Gen Z star who delivered the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema, is set to balance her booming film career with her college studies. As per the latest reports, the Saiyaara actress will be giving her final-year college exams in December 2025 and January 2026 before she begins shooting for her next project, Dinesh Vijan's Shakti Shalini.

Aneet, who is currently pursuing a B.A. (Hons.) in Political Science, is said to be managing her schedule perfectly to ensure she can devote ample time to her studies while also fulfilling her professional commitments. The young star, who was handpicked by Vijan for his Maddock Horror Comedy Universe's (MHCU) project, Shakti Shalini, is the youngest actor ever to headline a franchise in Indian cinema.

Aneet's remarkable journey from a newcomer to a bonafide star has been nothing short of inspiring. Her debut film, Saiyaara, emerged as the biggest launchpad for any newcomer since the iconic Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, which released 25 years ago. With her talent and dedication, Aneet has carved a unique path for herself in the industry, proving that she is a force to be reckoned with.
